Syed Nausha Ganj Bakhsh Qadri (ra), a scholar, saint and preacher of Islam in the Indo-Pak Subcontinent, was the founder of the Naushahia Order. He preached Islam in the ninth and tenth Hijri and brought non-Muslims into the fold of Islam. He loved the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and modelled his own life and teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah. His adherents call themselves Qadiri Naushahi or just Naushahi.
HIS BIRTH AND NAMES
Syed Nausha Ganj Bakhsh Qadri (ra) was born on the first day of Ramadan in 959 A.H. (21 August 1552) at Ghogganwali, district Gujrat in Punjab, Pakistan. The name of his father was Ala'uddin (ra), who was respected for being a great Sufi of his own times. Despite all difficulties of undertaking a long journey in his days he had completed his pilgrimage to Mecca Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah seven times on foot, which shows how devoted to Islam he was.
At his birth he was named (Haji) Muhammad. This name was kept in accordance with some divine and supernatural messages. In the first instance he became famous by the name of Haji Muhammad. Later on he also became famous by the names of Haji Nausha, Abul Hashim, Bhoora Wala Pir (the enshrouded one), Mujaddid-i Islam (the great revival of the Islam), Nausha Ganj Bakhsh, Syed Nausha Pir and Nausha Pak. The name Nausha is also spelled and pronounced as Noshah.
His actual name is fully Sayyid (Syed) Haji Muhammad Nausha Ganj Bakhsh Qadri.
CONVERSION OF NON-MUSLIMS TO ISLAM
Syed Nausha Pir (ra) spent his whole life in spreading the light of Islam and hundreds of thousands of non-Muslims accepted Islam as a result of his efforts. Beside the large majority of Hindus, there were also followers of Christianity, Buddhism and Parsism. This fact is even mentioned by non-Muslims.[1] The English historian Sir Thomas Arnold and the French orientalist Garcin de Tassy have written this: There was in the Punjab a certain person, named Hajji Muhammad (ra), about whom is said that two hundred thousand Hindus converted to the Islam due to him.
A well-known Hindu leader, whose number of disciples exceeded more than one thousand and who possessed a great skill in the black magic (Istidraj), arrived one day accompanied by his followers at Syed Nausha Pir (ra). He asked permission to show his skill. He changed himself in three appearances: as an old man, a young man and as a child. After his performance he said that it took him twelve years to achieve this spiritual level, after withdrawing three times in Chillah (seclusion). Syed Nausha Pir (ra) answered that he has in reality wasted his lifetime by this engagement! "To take three different appearances comprises not any spiritual perfection at all. Accept that one is merged into the divine love in such a way, that when he looks at somebody, his hart is filled with this intense love!" After saying this he pronounced the article of faith "La ilaha (there is no god)" glancing at the riverside of the Chenab, whereupon a wave of water splashed in his direction. From every drop that fell on the ground before him was heard: "illallah (except Allah)!" Then Syed Nausha Pir (ra) looked at the Hindu leader in such a way, that he went into ecstasy and fell before the feet of Syed Nausha Pir (ra), breaking his cord of Hinduism and accepting the Islam as true religion. All his disciples and admirers followed him in this and were converted to the Islam.
DEPARTING FROM THIS WORLD
On Monday, the fifteenth of the Islamic month Rabi ‘ul-Awwal 1064 A.H. Syed Nausha Pir (ra) said farewell to this transitory world. He died a natural death and has became one hundred and five years old. This date corresponds to Monday the eighteenth May 1654 according the western calendars. This period coincides with the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.
It is also said that a man in search of him along with his servant wandered several decades for being his disciple. After he found him he heard the news of his passing away, which he regretted so much. Syed Nausha Pir (ra) had said before his passing away that his body should be put in a chamber. The two mentioned persons were let alone in here. In the presence of the body of Syed Nausha Pir (ra), he wept so much that suddenly Syed Nausha Pir (ra) sat up and made them his disciple and lied down again. After this miraculous happening they went outside and felt enlightened; no one heard those two persons ever speak again.
